ChatGPT for Teens
DEPLOYif you run education products for ages 13-17
WHAT SHIPPEDChatGPT for Teens places users estimated under 18 or stating age 13 to 17 into a protected experience with Study Mode, responsible homework reminders, quizzes, learning visualizations, Study Hours, break reminders, and parent controls including Quiet Hours and safety notifications.
THE CATCHThe under-18 model spec goes beyond blocking romantic or sexualized roleplay: ChatGPT must not use romantic language, encourage emotional dependence, or imply it has feelings or consciousness, and sensitive-image upload reminders caution teens against sharing private images.
IF YOU RUNa tutoring app or classroom tool where teens ask for quick answers, the homework reminders redirect them toward step-by-step problem solving instead of handing over solutions
